A Gepiei Restorative.

Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are em phatically genial restorative. The changes which this great botanic rem edy produces in the disordered or, ganization are always ssreeably, though surely progressive, never ab. rupt or violent. On this account it is admirably adapted to persons ct deli, cate constitution and weak nerves, to whom the powerful mineral drugs are positively injurious. That it initiates those processes which result in the re. establishment of healthful vigor Is conspicuously shown in case where il IS taken to overcome that fruitful cause of debility, indigestion, coupled, as it Hsually is, with EilIiousness and con stipation. Thorough digestion, regu lar evacuation and abundant secre- tion. arc results which promptly and invariably attend its systematic use. It is, besides, the best protective against malaria, and first rate dlure llc.

Irone without an occupant.

A WISH, Is often, not only father to a thought, but it is often the parent of stupid, reckless statements that
 have no foundation beyond the preju. dices and personal interests of those who give birth to them. The state
 ment that the Harrison law, regulating the power. of territorial legislatures,
 prohibits any encouragement of coun- ty division, is based upon the aimsiest of reasons--a desire that it should be so. Fearing that It will pass the leg
 islature, the opponents of "Frisco"
 county are endeavoring to encourage the governor to veto the bill, should that be the only way of killing it. Any one who calls the regulation of county boundaries special leglsla-
 tion" must be totally ignorant of the meaning of that term. Forming new counties IS not special legislation, and there is no clause in the Harrison law which takes from territorial legisla- lures the power of dividing counties as they may see fit. In the neighbor- ing territory of New Mexico the re- cent legislature formed a new county, and called it "San Juan," from a portion of Rio Arriba county. Gov

PRESCOTT, March 4th, 1887.
 Special Correspondence.
 As the session draws to a close the many bills that have had their first reading and since that time have been buried in committees, are making their appearance once more, either for final passage, or to be laid on the dissecting block, from whence they make their way to their final resting place. Legislative matters are hurry ing to close as fast as tbe "econo- mical" administration will allow, and all matters of importance will be dis posed of by the time for adjournment sine die, which event will take place on the night of the 10th.
 Among the important bills passed during the week, was law abolishing county courts, which took effect on Tuesday. This bill cuts no figure in the judicial matters of Yayspai coun- | ty, but it is said that it will give no relief financially to other counties where these courts exist, for the next two years, for the reason that officers wto were elected to fill the positions connected with these courts can de- mand and collect their salaries.
 The week has witnessed some cut ting and slashing at county boundar- ies, and to man up tree it appear ed as though razors were flying through the air for while. The Cochise delegation took out their llt- tie pen knife and declared their inten- ton of slicing off piece of Pima, while one of the delegation from the latter county favored proposition to annex one-half of the state of Sonora to Cochise county. Yuma county wished slice of Maricopa and Pima, and Gila used her knife successfully on Yavapai in the house. Ming's bill severing the Sulphur Springs Val ley from Cochise and Graham county passed the house, and will form a new county known as Miles county, or what was proposed two years ago as Sierra Bonita. While all this butch ering was going on, those members from Frisco were not asleep, but were engineering the Frisco county bill to successful termination in the house, the success of which has already been chronicled in the CHAMPION. Much credit is due those who had the mat tel in hand for the faithful duty they performed in serving the interests of their constituency in the passage of this bill against the wishes of Pres cott's ayaricious hounds.
 The cattle interests have been we'll served and many improvements have been made in the laws heretofore ex- isting, of which the CHAMPION will speak at more length hereafter.
 A bill for the relief of John Dobbs, whom most people of the territory know has been almost totally crippled for years, was this week defeated in the council. Dobbs received his in. iuries from Indians while carrying nall!, and as it is so difficult to obtain pension from congress, the territory should certainly do something in his behalf until congress takes action in his case.

che concession of tho right of way are
again moving in the matter. A meeting
was held of the Eads Concession Company
at Pittsburg on Wednesday last, at which
Mr.. Window, ex-secretary of the Treasury
Mr.. Shaw, second vice-president Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and
many other persons prominently con
nected with the scheme were present.
They decided to begin active efforts to
prosecute the work at an early day, aud
instead of relying upon Congress for a
charter to incorporate under the laws Of
one of the States. After the act of inoor-
poration il obtained, they propose to
turn over the concession to the ship rail
way company, and to place the stock
and bonds OF the latter on the market.
These securities will first be offered to
American investors, but if they decline
TO take them they will be foated in
Europe. There is no doubt but the as
socistes of Mr.. Eads have been eucour-
aged to revive his ship-railway scheme
from belief that the failure OF the
Panama canal is imminent. Ii seems TO
be well understood that the call of NJ. de
Lesseps for a new loan was only partially
successful, Notwithstanding the extraor-
binary efforts made to float it, and that
The money he obtained will only serve to
carry on the work during the current
year. But NJ. de Lesseps is man OF
many resources and lndomitable energy,
and the pride that the French people take
in him and in the honor that will rebound
TO France in the evsnt of the completion
of the canal may yet be powerful enough
to rescue him from his difficulties. More
over,if there is hope of obtaining the
money for the Eads railwey, there is still
a greater possibility of carrying ont the
Nicaragua ship-canal under purely Amer
lean auspices if work on the Panama
canal should be even temporarily aban-
doned At present the Eads project and
the Nicaragua project neutralize each
other.

ANTIQUITY OF MAN.
Some Startling Figures Presented to the Bos
ton Christadelphians

Some Startling Figures Presented to the Bos-
ton Christadelphans.
The Christadelphians of Boston held
their regular weekly religious services
yesterday in Chandler hall, Is Essex ST..
The subject of the morning discourse
was the question: HAS Man Been on
Earth more than 5000 yearsp
The subject was illustrated with a
chart showing mathematical calculations.
This chart was drawn up on the assump-
tion that the existence OF the human
race upon the terrestrial globe has con
tinued unnterruptedly for 500CJ years.
The speaker, however, denied tiat this
claim was founded on any tenable scien-
tifc hypothesis. Beginning his calcula-
tion with two human boings, and allow
ing for the number OF persons being
doubled every 800 years during the first
ages, he showed that there would 6xist at
the end of the FIRST 10000 years 2,097, l52
persons. The computation at the close
of 10000 years would show in existence
such myriads OF human beings as would
be inconceivable TO the human mind. To
express the number would require row
Of figures running into the nonillions.
The population of the earth at the pres
ent day. he said, is ] ,400,000,000. He con
tended that the human race could not
possibly be $1,000 years old. Wherever
evidences OF the occupancy of the earth
p4ior to the Adamic period had been dis
covered, they we're the remains OF n race
which had tenanted this world and oe-
come extinct before the times recorded
in the book Of Genesis. That such race
had existed and had been destroyed could
be maintained, the speaker said from
the scriptural writings of Peter and Jude
and from Paul's Epistle 10 the Corinthi-
ans.
Speaking Of the argument against the
resurrection of the body which Is made
by those persons who assert that space
could not be found on the surface OF the
globe sufficient TO assemble the resurfect
ed bodies at tho day of Judgment the
speaker figured out that that all th'
/ bodies of all the human beings who have
peopled the earth since the time of Adam
/ could be collected in a space not large
4 than the state Of New York, and he DIX
not think 80 large territory would b
required.
